Blasphemy! It's an awesome song with an even more awesome guitar in it:

And who doesn't love a li'l "Bang! Say da da da!" in their music collection? I sure do!

Moscow Calling is a much better album!

Well at least it's better than 'musicians ordering coffee'.

Yep, that was a shit song. I remember "liking" it at the time but I was definitely grading them on a curve.

I liked their version of My Generation. Other than that, they sucked and would have gone nowhere if they weren't Rusdian back when it was cool.

Did they ever release a ballad? I don't remember one.

There were two semi-good songs on the album (in my opinion): "Bang" and the ballad "Try to Find Me", which was the 2nd single.

Hmm.. I don't remember any song being played other than Bang. The ballad must not have gotten traction. I'll give it a chance.

This ^, 2nd CD is pretty good, bass player took over lead vocals, and songwriting is better.

We had that video recorded on VHS specifically to laugh at it. "If nothing less, I wanna hear a yes" may be the best line.
I think Bon Jovi may have had something to do with them?
